Placement of digital signage is generally determined by customer traffic and how a company wants to funnel traffic throughout their establishment.  Generally, most foodservice facilities want to place signage where the consumer is going to make a purchasing decision (order counter, cash register area, etc.) as well as in areas leading up to the point of purchase.  The size and type of restaurant—fast-food, quick-casual-- can influence the number of displays needed and precisely where they will be positioned.
 
Most digital signs are mounted on a wall, ceiling, shelf, or endcap, but the creative use of display technologies has led to innovations like polarized projection film.  This allows the projection of high-contrast images onto store windows or displays that appear to float in mid-air.
